I choose to give because I believe that I have been blessed to be a blessing to others. There are many great organizations that I have supported, but one that was very meaningful to me was when I created a fundraiser for Living Water International in place of asking for gifts for my birthday. There was no "thing" I truly needed, so it felt more rewarding to gather the power of unity in numbers by asking friends and family to help me raise funds to build wells in poor areas so that people can have clean water to drink and live (something many of us take for granted!). I know it's scary for some, but it truly is rewarding to give to those less fortunate. "The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously." - 2 Corinthians 9:6
Review from #MyGivingStory
LWI is working hard to make a difference, even beyond their own work. They helped found the Accord WASH Alliance (http://wash.accordnetwork.org), which is the place where Christian water organizations gather to learn from one another and become more effective together. They have come a long way in a few short years.
Review from Guidestar
To many evening hours spent on events, fundraisers etc. They don't pay well enough to extend yourself this much. A lot of growing pains with new CEO. They are becoming more and more faith based to attract more donations. You are either all God or not.
Review from Guidestar
None profits should always keep CEO's salary within reason. This one is getting on the high side for a none profit.
